Chill.

Stuntkid, where did they say that?

Raimiette, here's some more info on the 1-player modes, if you want to know.

Hidden content (Click to reveal)

Besides just regular fighting matches with or without WiFi, there are several single player modes. The simpler ones are mini-games like hit-the-target, or launch-the-sandbag. There's also a stage builder. Then there's the Classic Mode, which is basically where you choose a character and a difficulty and you have to fight several matches with conditions, like your opponent can be made out of metal or be a giant, or maybe you'll fight in a team. There might be some other modes like that, I'm not sure if All-Star Mode for example is still in. That's just where you don't recover health in between the matches. Then, there's the Subspace Emissary. This is basically a big platforming/fighting game, where you fight smaller enemies instead of other characters. You meet up with other people from the roster, and your team changes characters often. Depending on who you 'choose to be' for a certain level, your little party will change according to who you picked. For example, maybe the other person gets captured and you meet someone new. It works mostly like that. There're bosses and puzzles, and it looks like a lot of fun all around.

It sounds great, but when you realize that it's a national tournament between all gamestops (probably involving travel to the finals) and people who have imported the game and have been training for months.

Unless I'm mistaken, but I really don't think that they're doing this massive prize at each gamestop tournament.

Yeah, that prize is for the 4th tournament only, in which 8 people will participate. The skill gap between the importers and anyone who gets it on March 9th won't be too large since the importers have had it only a month before them. It'll be pretty easy to catch up to them since the final tournament is a month after U.S. release. Plus if they're allowing items and any stage/character, luck becomes a pretty important factor and can give even a mediocre player an advantage over an importer.

Oh, and my first ever Brawl video is up. I'm such a noob in it, but I rocked the next 5 matches I had, which will be youtubed shortly. Anyone interested in seeing it can go here:

This is the biggest tip I can give you but it's also kinda cheap:

rule #1 of fighting games: nothing is cheap

That reminds me. Supposedly that tip doesn't work in Brawl...apparently the last person that hit you still gets the kill, even if you land before suiciding.

EDIT: Also, two new videos of me playing.

My first victory (I footstool jumped him to death his first stock):

I've stopped staying up and waiting for the Dojo (not that I stayed up exclusively for the Dojo but I'd always check it at night), although I still take a look every morning.

Sarhan, that match against Ike was nice. The first video was interesting because you seemed to really play "melee-style", but then got into it more. Although Marth really hasn't changed much from his melee version. You should have played with someone else to really feel Brawl. That was a waste, dude. ;_;

I tried out Meta Knight a bit too. Figured I'd just get in as many matches as possible to get a feel for the physics and Marth was my best in Melee, so I though he'd be easy to pick up and play. That Ike guy (Mendoza) is usually a beast with Ike. I was so shocked when I raped him that hard. Marth might have a huge advantage over Ike though. And yeah, the first two matches against Wario and Ice Climbers have me trying to wavedash and JC grab a ton. Took a few matches to start getting out of the habit.

But man, this game is so fucking good. I can't wait. 11 days left.

I'm not EXACTLY sure. I think it was at E for all or at E3.

But I'm certain nintendo said that during development.

Most of the claims about the game are mere rumors that the community pulls out of its ass, like the whole thing on there being no more clones... Sakurai never said anything about that.

Oh and Sarhan how is Link if you've played him? Would you consider him buffed or nerfed from Melee? I want to hear your input if you have one please.

Only played Marth and Meta Knight. Link is pretty much exactly like how he was in Melee from what the people I was playing with were saying. He's changed, some attacks got buffed, some got nerfed, but overall, if you compare him to the other characters, he's in the exact same position he was in Melee. Maybe this will change in the future since not that many people play him, but as it is right now, he's pretty average (maybe even a bit below average).

It's really not that slow. Slower than Melee, sure, but it's still pretty fast paced. It's a nice balance between SSB64 and Melee, IMO. It is fun as hell though.

Yeah, Link hasn't really moved on the totem pole. Some attacks got worse (off the top of my head, you can't L-cancel his down-air, his up-B is crappier (although you can charge it on the ground, there is almost no circumstance which you would actually do this) and he no longer has his continuous sword jab A-combo), some attacks got better (He seems a bit faster and stronger overall, his 3-hit A combo is better, boomerang picks up items and draws in enemies).

I should record some of my matches this Saturday, but all I have is my digital camera. I guess that works... Mostly we do 4 person, 3 stock with items low or off.

Yeah, a few importers realized this when they noticed the size of his charged B increasing with higher damage. Lucario's definitely unique and has the potential to be an amazing character. He's probably a great counterpick against characters with crappy KO moves like Sonic and Meta Knight.

It was probably because we played Melee a HELLOFALOT that day... had to release tension a bunch of us quit... (I was supposed to open AND close that day but I called the manager at 10 and told him I quit... 10 is when the store opens he was FUCKED cuz his car was broken down so he had to call the ASM WHO ALSO QUIT thats also whos house i was at playing smash).
